Developer Productivity is top of mind for many software teams these days, and Jira’s flexible workflow engine allows teams to streamline workflows to improve the efficiency of their developers. But in the age of Artificial Intelligence, wouldn’t it be great if Jira workflows were a bit… smarter?

Imagine if you could build a Scrum workflow that could validate that a Story is actually a well formatted user story. Or a Kanban board where Work-In-Progress limits are’t just red columns, but actually block transitions if too much work is in progress. Or a DevOps incident workflow that orders a cocktail for the incident manager after a stressful incident is resolved. Well it turns out, you can! In this session, we’ll show you how to expand Jira’s workflow capabilities by building your own custom workflow conditions, validators, and post-functions using Atlassian’s Forge platform.

This session will be a mix of slides to illustrate workflow concepts and a healthy dose of live coding. If you want to get your hands dirty, feel free to code along, and be sure to set up your environment before the event by following this how-to-get-started guide.
